When you idle itll leak into the car and fill the cab with Carbon monoxide. That can cause serious long term damage to you bro. . . if you get sleepy at all or get headachs then roll the f'ing window down

I drove mine for 2 weeks about before I could finally get time/parts to fix it. We'll see if there are any positive effects besides sounding a million times better.

i dont know if its true or not, but i heard somewhere that if its a leak is coming out of the exhaust manifold and if its bad enough it can cause dmamage to the exhaust valves, is this true?

Hey, the SLP mids seem to leak from the cats, I replaced the SLP gasket with and OEM and that didnt do anything, so I took of the the cat clamps, and it is exhaust colored around the cuts to pinch them down, just thought i'd let ya know.

If cold air goes back in through the leak it can warp the valves.
